    Croissant de lune is only half correct in the first place. If it looks like the emoji you picked, it is a “baby moon” and growing (“waxing”) towards full, but if it’s oriented like C 🌜 it’s an “old moon” that’s “waning” or decreasing.

    I don’t mean YOU aren’t correct, just that the term is scientifically sloppy.
